Residential Switchboards
It’s believed that the meter panels in residential switchboards installed before the year 2000 were manufactured of, and comprise asbestos. In its solid state, the asbestos is considered non-friable, however, when holes are drilled in the meter panel during the alteration to fit equipment and pass-through cables, dust is created, potentially releasing asbestos fibres. This dust then settles in your switchboard and potentially blows around your garden.
Since your switchboard was installed significant advancements have been made not only in electrical protection but also in the legislation that ultimately determines the electrical safety of your switchboard. Old switchboards contain little electrical protection other than short circuit and overcurrent protection (if it has been maintained correctly).
Even well maintained old switchboards are susceptible to high resistance joints (“hot joints”…or loose connections) which can ultimately cause a fire and while you might have had a Safety Switch fitted, who maintains it, does it work and if it does, will it plunge your home into darkness?
LED Lighting
Modern LED light fittings offer unparalleled efficiency, converting 85% of the energy consumed into the light and not heat. For comparison sake, an LED downlight consumes just 15% of the energy a 50W halogen downlight consumes and yet halogen downlights convert just 10% of the energy they consume into light, the other 90% into heat.
If you’re still running halogen downlights, you’re burning money.
Lower Running costs
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced heat, reduced air conditioning costs
Lower Maintenance Costs
- Reduced maintenance requirements and costs
Practical and Durable
- Longer life span, up to 80,000 hours
- Manufacturers warranties up to 7 years
Safer & Environmentally Friendly
- Increased safety
- Reduced fire risk
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Reduced landfill
“LED compatible” could be used to describe most fittings, you just need to find an LED lamp to suit it for size and lamp holder. LED lamps come in various shapes and sizes and incorporate the LED driver, so often, they’re the expensive part of the “LED compatible” light fitting. Because they’re generally used in a fitting provided by another manufacturer, when they fail, which manufacturer will come to the party with a warranty?
We recommend and supply quality, fit for purpose LED light fittings with manufacturer’s warranties up to 7 years, however, we expect they’ll last for up to 10 years without maintenance.
